I thought I'd share another success report. After seeing this posting I found some online ($18/each from TopBulb) and ordered them. I installed them last night and ... no noise. So far, so good. Now I just need to get out one night and fly with them.

I've tried the SOra's and 2 other MR16 LED's with the wires twisted all the way thru the wing, but not shielded. I've grounded at the main ground and locally in the tip, put noise magnets on and the interference is just never acceptable.

Do you have shielded wiring?
